1 - Nothing wrong with being 27.
2 - In the military you actually seriously believe it or not get weekends off sometimes. In fact, depending on if you're running a mission, pretty much all the time. Especially if you don't live in the barracks.
3 - Nothing wrong with not going to a pub. Nothing wrong with being on AOB. If you're going to hate on him for that, check yourself.
4 - Just because you are unable to stay healthy and fit, doesn't mean other people can't. Sounds like you are jealous of another's succeess.
5 - There doesn't need to be a massive explanation. It's a cultural thing that you wouldn't know dick about. I still use 24 hour time. Hell, I still say things like "no-go" or "squared away" or "PMCS" all the time. And I've been out for years.
6 - You're an idiot. He's probably an officer for all you know. And it's spelled "Private." Not "Rookie." Either way, an E-1 private is still more respectable than you.
7 - It sounds to me, based on what you said, that this Sik is a cool dude because he recognizes the real world he lives in and has a realistic world view. He is also volunteering his time to defend his country from the evil terrorist and protecting our freedoms. That makes him a hero.
You're just jealous.
And an idiot.
